Fore Please. 2024 Masters Thread

Spieth with a 9 on 15. Ooof.

Kind of an offshoot of the my thoughts on The Masters earlier - never changing- I really wonder how different it would be if it had "kept up with the times" with regards to TV Sports. Clearly, there would be a title sponsor, more commercial breaks, maybe a car floating on a riser on the par 3 16, tickets wouldn't be by subscription or whatever, Every year would be on the open secondary market. A bigger field, of course. One change I think would be really interesting and fun - and add more to the week - is a "play-in" tourney on the Tuesday maybe for pros not yet qualified, with the caveat that they had never played Augusta before. And played at a different local course.

A car on 16 would look ridiculous, more commercial breaks would be annoying, a title sponsor would be awkward. But allowing patrons to have their phones would kill the Masters. That's the thing that really separates it from anything else on Earth.

Pencil in Spieth for his traditional top-5 finish.

Well, so much for this prediction.

Took a 9 on 15.

The only other place that's comparable is Wimbledon.

Harman with a back-nine 47 to go from 2-under to 9-over and a tie for DFL.

Par, bogey, bogey, double, par, par, triple, double, double.

For the most part, guys who had to finish their first rounds this morning got smoked.

Par, bogey, bogey, double, par, par, triple, double, double.

He was my best bet to miss the cut at +190. Augusta just doesn't suit his game well.

Unfortunately, they still have at least one "get in the hole!" guy.

I remain convinced that any "Baba Booey" guy at Augusta National would be quietly executed before he had the chance to leave the grounds.

Heard a few dumb-ass shouts after tee shots yesterday.

Nah, you are giving these guys too much credit. Bunch of stupid stuff so far in a day plus.
